Begin with praise and honest appreciation. Call attention to people’s mistakes indirectly. Talk about your own mistakes before criticizing the other person. Ask questions instead of giving direct orders. Let the other person save face. Praise the slightest improvement and praise every improvement. Be “hearty in your approval and lavish in your praise.” Be a good example for the other person to live up to. Use encouragement. Make the fault seem easy to correct. Make the other person happy about doing the thing you suggest. 6 Ways leaders can change someone's attitude or behavior:
1. Be sincere. Do not promise anything that you cannot deliver. Forget about the benefits to yourself and
concentrate on the benefits to the other person. Don't forget to plug-in on Valentines,

4. How to win people to your way of thinking..
"Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Get More Influence: How To Win People To Your Way Of Thinking. Sometimes disagreements happen. The only way to get the best of a disagreement is to avoid it. Just take your mind outside of it an rise above it. Then show respect for the other person's point of view, never say... "your wrong." If you discover you were mistaken admit it quickly and emphatically. Begin in a friendly way, get the other person saying, "yes" "yes" immediately. Let the other person do a great deal of the talking. Let the other person feel the idea is his (or hers). Try honestly to see things from the other person's point of view. Be sympathetic with the other person's ideas and desires. Make an appeal to greater motives. Dramatize your ideas, put some feeling in it. Then throw down a challenge. There you have it a few more presentation points I'll be going into in detail on Valentines... Don't miss it!
Cindy McAsey 5. Must Attend on Valentines(sneak peek now) A message from... Cindy McAsey
The online gurus's have it all wrong. Oh yea they may be able to suck lots of folks in, but let's face it not everyone can be a guru so how are they going to help you with success? After all many times, their perceived success came from the look of a guru status online. It's not about you it's about the people your connecting with. Discover people and what they want. Find out whats of value to them. It must be completely about others. Internally focus on personal development, and how to be emotionally intelligent. Hint: New Marketing is about relationships not the medium. You can make more friends in two months by becoming interested in other people than you can in two years by trying to get other people interested in you. I believe... People with passion can change the world for the better. I'm not necessarily passionate about physical products but what the product can bring to us and to the world. Passion will not protect us against set backs, but it will ensure no failure is ever final. So what is it your passionate about? Wether you like it or not you are being judged by how well you communicate. Good Artists copy. Great Artists steal. I want you to steal some ideas here OK? Two people can see the same thing but interpret it differently based on their vision. Chances are your vision won't look like mine so your ideas will be different also. That's it for today anyway. Don't forget to plug in on Valentines...

9. It's what you DO that makes a Difference Most of us are alike in our Dreams. Most of us are alike in the promises we make. What sets us apart and makes each of us different is what we do. Last week I was visiting with my Mom, she was sharing with me how her railroad retirement (much like Social Security for retired railroad workers and their families) didn't go up this year. According to the letter that she received their was no cost of living increase like they generally get on an annual basis. She said to me, "How can that be look at the price of gas from last year to this year." We had a long talk about the state of the economy today, I shared with her stories I had heard of folks loosing their disability. Folks getting hit with tax bills unexpectedly for small enough amounts it's not worth hiring someone to fight it so they just pay it or have it garnished from their bonus check. George Washington once said, "Where are the men of abilities why do they not come forth and save this country." Wether you want to admit it or not our country needs us the small business owner. It's the small business owner that has the ability to pull the country out of the mess we're in. It's what you do that makes a difference. Teddy Roosevelt once said, "ItÂ’s not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whoÂ’s face is marred by dust, sweat and blood; who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again; who knows great enthusiasm, the great devotions, and spends himself in a worthy cause; who at best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly; so his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory or defeat."
Albert Einstein wrote 240 papers.. most were never referenced. If you show what you've got to enough people you will get results.
Cindy McAsey 10. The MOM Factor At the base of your brain, where all the nerve endings come together to form your spinal cord, there is something about the size of your thumb called the Reticular Formation. This is a real physical, physiological thing. Part of the Reticular Formation is the Reticular Activating System (RAS). The RAS has one job and one job only. Its job is to filter information; and it is superb at what it does. We are constantly exposed to, and bombarded by so much information, data, stimuli and even opportunities, that if we consciously tried to register it all, process it all and think about it all, we would literally go crazy. We would be in a constant state of "overload". So the RAS (which remember, is VERY good at what it does) constantly filters out "extraneous" and "superfluous" information and data. It's like a "Spam Filter" for your mind. The crucial question then becomes: How does the RAS determine what it needs to filter out? The RAS is constantly asking three questions in order to decide what you need to know and be aware of:
1. "Is it my responsibility"? - Have you ever gone someplace you've never been before, in an unfamiliar part of town, as a passenger in someone else's car? After you got there did you realize that you had absolutely no idea how to find your way home? It has probably happened to most of us. On the other hand, had you driven there yourself, would you have been able to find your way home? More than likely. Why in the first case were you clueless, but in the second case you noticed the gas station on the corner, the white picket fence, the church steeple and all the other landmarks that would help you find your way out of there? Because, in the second case you knew you were responsible for getting there and back. However, in the first case you knew you weren?t responsible, so your RAS decided you didn't need that information, filtered it out and you never saw the important landmarks that could help you find your way home. The "Mom Factor" I would like all of you mothers reading this to think back to when your first child was an infant (I'm sure the following was true of all of your children, but think especially of your first child). They were just old enough that they had graduated from the bassinet by your bed to their own crib, in their own room down the hall. The first few weeks do you remember how you would be sound asleep in the middle of the night, and out of a sound sleep, all of the sudden you knew that you had to be down the hall checking on your child. You don't know what you heard; you're not even sure that you had heard anything; you just knew you had to be there, and in a heart beat you are wide awake and at that child's bedside making sure that everything is OK. It's the third time that night that you have been up to check on your child. As you return to your bed, you decide that it is important for your husband to know that THIS! - IS! - THE! - THIRD! - TIME! that you have been up to check on HIS! child. So, you THROW! yourself on the bed and JERK! the covers back over to you, just to make sure your husband appreciates that this is the THIRD! time you have been up ? and your husband sleeps through the whole thing. He never heard you get up, was never aware that you came back to bed, and never even felt you jerk the covers back over. Now, in some of your homes, later that night, the family dog starts yapping in the back yard. Dad jumps out of bed, throws open the window, shouts at the dog to shut up, comes back to bed - and Mom sleeps through the whole thing. How is it that Mom can hear a virtually inaudible sleeping baby, but can?t hear barking dogs and Dad can hear dogs, but can't hear babies? It's simple ... in your home the roles have been defined such that Mom is responsible for the baby and Dad is responsible for the dog. Your RAS will filter out any information that you are not responsible for and make you unaware of it. I've often heard it said that wisdom comes with age. But, that is not true. The only thing that automatically comes with age - is old. That's all you get. Wisdom comes when you accept responsibility for your life. I know 80-year-olds with no wisdom and 18-year-olds with plenty. The difference is that the 18-year-old has accepted responsibility for their life and future, but the 80-year-old is still blaming everyone and everything around them for their stature in life. All of us spend the first nine months of our lives on a waterbed. It is warm. It is cozy. All of our needs were met without us having to do a thing. Then we are born, the doctor cut the umbilical cord, slapped us on the rear end and then 95% of us spend the next 50 years of our lives looking around for someone else we can plug our umbilical cord into to take care of us. But, it's not someone else's responsibility. And until you take responsibility for your life and future, your RAS will make you blind to opportunities around you.
Cindy McAsey 11. Barefoot Healthy Living: Shaklee 7 Day Detox Program Shaklee 7 Day Detox Plan Seven Days That Will Last a Lifetime The following seven-day plan progresses gradually. It begins with two full days of a modified macrobiotic diet, then moves into three days of fruit only, then comes back to a more regular eating plan for the last two. Throughout, we eliminate caffeine, alcohol, refined sugar, dairy, and artificial foods altogether. There are no strict guidelines as to how much or when to eat; use basic nutritional principles to determine that for yourself. Days One and Two: Your diet for these two days should consist of organic fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains, and chicken, or fish. Modify these suggestions to accommodate your tastes: Upon Awakening: One large glass of hot purified water with one half of a fresh lemon squeezed into it. You may add honey to sweeten if you wish. This tonic helps flush waste matter from your digestive tract and keeps your breath sweet. Breakfast: Fresh fruit and freshly squeezed fruit juice, organic yogurt (if you eat dairy), chopped almonds to sprinkle in the yogurt or over sliced fruit, and as much herbal tea as you want. You can use a little honey for sweetener. Lunch: One serving of protein (tofu, fish, or skinless chicken Breast), steamed, poached or baked with no oil, and one serving of a whole grain (like brown rice, couscous, wild rice). One serving is equivalent to about the size of your fist. You may also have as much fresh vegetables and salad as you would like. You can use vinegar and lemon with one teaspoon olive oil for dressing and natural seasonings as you wish. Make lunch your largest meal. But remember, less is more (you detox better!). Snack: Any form of fresh fruit or vegetable. Dinner: One serving of protein as at lunch and one serving of a whole grain and one serving of a vegetable or a salad. Give yourself some variety from lunch. For dessert, you can either have fresh or baked fruit, or you can get creative and make naturally low-fat, whole grain, dairy-free desserts that you can get from any good vegan cookbook. Supplements to Use: Morning: Take One serving of Optiflora Prebiotic and Probiotic Complex
Take 1 DTX Days Three, Four, and Five: Here is when you enter your three-day fruit fast. It sounds hard, but after two days of already eating light, it won’t be as difficult as you think. You can have as much fresh, whole fruit or freshly squeezed juice as you want. Be creative! Instead of just eating an apple, or a pear, take the time to prepare a fruit salad that combines several kinds of fruit. Here are a few suggestions: Mash up a few bananas and freeze them to make banana “ice-cream” Bake apples, using honey or cinnamon for flavoring. Bake or poach pears and use honey or cider for sweetening. Add cinnamon, vanilla flavoring and Shaklee protein (vanilla) to applesauce Different fruit salads: berry salad (raspberries, blueberries, strawberries, and blackberries), tropical salad (pineapple, oranges, mango, banana—you have to sprinkle banana with a bit of lemon juice to keep it from browning), strawberry, kiwi, and grape salad… Any kind of smoothie with protein in it Remember, avocados and tomatoes are fruits, so you can use them to make soups, salads, guacamole, and so on. Or you can go to the health food store and buy a can of organic tomato soup (watch sodium count—500 or below). You can add a little tomato salsa or apple cider vinegar for flavoring. Supplements to Use:
Morning: Take 1 serving of Optiflora Prebiotic and Probiotic Complex Days Six and Seven: For the last two days of your cleanse, you will go back to what you ate on Days One, Two and Three. However, it is very important that you remain conscious of what you are doing. Your system is cleaner and lighter than it was three days ago, so you will probably need less food than you think you do. Stay conscious and present to what your body needs. In addition:
Morning: Take One serving of Optiflora Prebiotic and Probiotic Complex Ending the Seven Day Detox At the end of the seven days, do not break your detox fast foolishly. The minute they wake up on the eighth day some people rush right out to have something that has been off-limits. That is the worst thing you could do to your system. Your intestines canÂ’t take that kind of shock. One of the keys to fasting properly is knowing how to break it wisely! Do this detox two-three times a year, whenever you feel you have gone off track or just need to do a little internal clearing.

12. 6 Things You Should Know About Probiotics
Meet the good bacteria: Probiotics 1. Traveling: To prevent diarrhea or constipation, take probiotics daily for two weeks before traveling. Though most should be refrigerated, some are fine if left un-refrigerated for about two weeks. 2. Stomach flus, viruses, colds: Any illnesses causing vomiting and diarrhea can be improved with probiotics. They'll cut down on sick time. 3. Food poisoning: Taking probiotics decreases chances of food poisoning. 4. Yeast infections: Probiotics help avoid them. If you get one, they help get rid of it more quickly. 5. Fibromyalgia: It seems this disease really does cause an increase in pain, Huffnagle says. But most people with fibromyalgia also have gastrointestinal problems. Consume more fruits and vegetables, whole grains and other foods that support probiotics and take a form of them daily. 6. Aging: Microflora change as people get older, causing them to be intolerable of foods they once loved or get colds and flu more often. Probiotics may reduce food sensitivities and frequent colds and respiratory issues. Have you eaten your good bacteria today? No, seriously. No matter how much you've been told to avoid bacteria at all costs by washing with antibacterial soap and cleaning products, some bacteria actually is good for you. These friendly bacteria, probiotics, not only promote digestive health, they assist in nutrition absorption and enhance the immune system. Microbiologists say they actually prevent illnesses and disease. "It's basically a revelation in medicine," says Gary Huffnagle, professor of internal medicine and microbiology at the University of Michigan medical school. "We always think microbes cause harm to our bodies. The story is a little more complicated than that. The amount of research on this is exploding." What are probiotics? More than being good for you, probiotics -- which already grow inside our bodies -- are powerfully important in disease prevention because the body's digestive system plays a starring role in the body's defense system. Huffnagle says scientific evidence shows taking probiotic supplements or eating foods containing probiotics every day will help knock out illnesses, and discomforts such as allergies, asthma and irritable bowel syndrome.

Lower IQ in kids. A study of over 14,000 kids between 3-8 in the UK, found that those who ate more processed foods had lower IQ's. What an alarm bell for every parent -- let's keep our kids healthy!  14. What's eating you Acid? "What’s Eating You? Acid, That’s What!" "Exclusive breakthrough reveals—dangerously high acid levels in your body may be the hidden cause behind many health problems. For optimal health, your body needs at least 72 trace minerals every day to protect you from the ravages of high acidity... the foods you eat only give you about EIGHT of them". The above is a quote from AOL. This is news? Or is it news? Today, flashing across your computer screen, often, it sounds as if some company has just discovered nature! For my past several Years in Shaklee, when I have presented the values of our nutritional products, I have always started out with two factors. The first is: Improving your digestion will improve your health, and secondly, I feel it is important to address the topic of acid-alkaline balance. At that time, I present our Shaklee Alfalfa. The typical diet in our country disrupts the acid-alkaline balance. Meats and grains, (the most frequent choice), are acid forming. We, Americans just do not eat enough veggies or green foods. Some references state the average vegetable is only ten to thirty units alkaline, whereas alfalfa is one of the very highest ranking alkaline foods. This factor is very important in maintaining healthy joints. You would have to consume a huge amount of veggies to equal the amount of alkalinity you will receive from alfalfa. However, Just any alfalfa does not meet all the requisites. Shaklee Alfalfa is organically grown, using not the stems of the plant, but the tender green leaves. And the Shaklee process does not expose the nutrients to any degree of heat which would destroy the bio-availability, or as Dr Shaklee would refer to "the life force of the plant". I remember Dr Shaklee, at one time said: "If I had to choose only one product, it would be Alfalfa." I think its is because alfalfa provides not only the important minerals and vitamins, but also the trace minerals not found in other foods, and it provides enzymes to aid in digestion and some protein and the important alkalinity. Shaklee Alfalfa Testimonial: Forty years ago, I was diagnosed with arthritis & bursitis. The doctors prescribed Darvon. I knew better than to take something that would merely address the symptoms of pain. I wanted to remove the cause, not the just the symptoms. At that time I had not heard about Shaklee. Fortunately, for me, someone I met casually, recommended Shaklee Alfalfa to me. She was not in Shaklee and I never saw her again. I wish I knew who she was so I could express my gratitude. Maybe that is one reason I find it so easy and practically essential to share the good news everywhere I go. We never know what a difference we may make in someone’s life. It is important to remember, we never diagnose nor prescribe. Dr Shaklee said "When someone asks you what is good for arthritis, you could respond: You don’t want anything good for arthritis, you want something bad for arthritis and good for your body". Another Dr. Shaklee quote: "We do not treat dis-ease we just treat the body fairly" Another favorite quote is in response to the question: How Many do I take? Dr Shaklee said "Do you count the peas on your plate, this is food." "They aren’t pills, they won’t cure your ills, they’re just plain food, AND they will improve your mood". The point is we must emphasize wellness and prevention of disease with our food supplements.

Dr. gives the "Smart Idea" on HERBLAX after Colonoscopy I agree with what you are saying about Dr. Shaklee and Herb Lax. Dr. Shaklee's basic 5 were: Vita-Lea; Protein; Vita C; Alfalfa; and HerbLax. My elderly 89 year old father takes HerbLax daily and has for years and years -- I have been in Shaklee since 1978 recently he had a colonoscopy (just because they thought he should since he had not had one for years) I guess they thought he should have something wrong at his age, right. During the procedure the doctor asked my dad--"Do you take Shaklee HerbLax?" "My dad said Yes, I do every day" (think he takes 2 or 4). Doctor said I thought so because the colon is a darker color. I have several other people with colons like yours and they all take Shaklee. Dad is getting worried, "Is it bad? "No," he said, "I wish all my patients had colons like yours--your colon is that of a 20 year old person, that is good, it couldn't be better." So I guess this is living proof that Dr. Shaklee was right and knew what he was talking about. ~Sharon Rowe Stay tuned for more short stories...

16. Healthy Christmas Protein Balls Snack  As we roll into holiday cooking activities, I thought I would share with you a healthy nutritious snack that's fun to prepare with little ones.
The Healthy Christmas Snack Protein Balls Prep Time: 30 minutes (15 minutes to mix, 15 minutes to roll into balls)
Basic Ingredients:
Directions: The more dry ingredients you add, the stiffer the mixture gets. You want the protein balls to stick together when you roll them, but you donÂ’t want them to be so sticky that they wonÂ’t hold shape. Add more oatmeal, wheat germ, or oat bran if your mixture is too goopy. Add more honey if your mixture is too dry.
Roll the mixture into balls about 1 inch in diameter. This is the tedious part—so get the kids involved! Refrigerate the balls (or freeze any extra). You can stack them in Tupperware and separate the layers with waxed paper.
17. How to Reduce Stress during the holidays  Health professionals agree that stress has health consequences. The body's natural stress response, or what we used to call the "fear, fight, and flight response," was originally designed for survival. For example, if a lion were chasing you, your stress response would kick in and prevent you from becoming the lion's dinner. But today, we are no longer faced with that kind of stress. Instead, we are exposed to stress daily, such as financial hardships and raising a family while working full time. Unfortunately, regardless of the type of stress, our bodies react in the same way. This is a problem because our stress response was not meant for dealing with today's everyday stresses. As a result, our stress response can cause more harm than good. If every day is an emergency, your health can end up paying a price. The good news, however, is that stress is manageable. There's no one best way to reduce stress, but here are some thoughts. Continue to eat well, get plenty of rest, and exercise regularly. If you haven't tried it yet, Shaklee Stress Relief Complex is designed to promote a tranquil state of well-being and help relieve feelings of stress. It contains L-Theanine, an amino acid found in green tea and studied for its effect on brain waves associated with a relaxed state; betasitosterol, found to blunt one of the stress hormones; and L-Tyrosine, an amino acid used to make a brain chemical that may become depleted from exposure to everyday stress. It also contains ashwaganda, a traditional, Ayurvedic herbal adaptogen. Seek emotional support from a trained therapist or trusted friend. Just having someone to talk to about your frustrations or worries can help. Regular exercise is important. Try something new, like yoga. Yoga uses deep breathing and relaxation techniques that are helpfulfor coping with stress. Remember to keep things in perspective. Chances are, the stressful feelings you have will pass when the season passes.
Cindy McAsey 18. Barefoot Health Living - Ideas for a Healtier You Didn't find the time to workout today? Here's an idea for you to give your body the benefits of excercise. Start your day with a 10-minute walk. Then grab three more 10-minute walking breaks throughout the day. Research shows that grabbing 10 minutes here and there could provide you with even better control over your blood pressure than if you'd slogged your way through a single 40-minute treadmill session. When people with prehypertension -- that's systolic blood pressure of 120-139 or diastolic blood pressure of 80-89, or both -- were asked to walk briskly for 40 continuous minutes or for 10 minutes once per hour over a stretch of 4 hours, their blood pressure benefited most from the accumulated walking stints. The shorter walks reduced people's systolic pressure (that's the upper number) for 11 hours after the accumulated walks compared to only 7 hours for the continuous walk. Their diastolic pressure (the bottom number) was lower for 10 hours after the accumulated activity as opposed to only 7 hours for the continuous activity. Good news if you're struggling to fit exercise into an already jam-packed day. Just grab a quick walk around the block in the morning, in the office parking lot during lunch, at the grocery store on your way home, and around the block again when you get there. You're done. And your heart is healthier. All forms of exercise are good for lowering blood pressure; so are losing weight and eating a heart-healthy diet. Do all three...exercise, lose weight, and eat right... and you'll substantially reduce your risk of strokes and heart attacks.
Did you know cinnamon has health benefits? If you spice up your diet with cinnamon it may help regulate your blood sugar. Early research has found people with diabetes who eat three-eighths of a teaspoon a day have better blood sugar levels after a little over a month. So... how does cinnamon work its magic? Researchers aren't sure yet. It's possible that something in cinnamon helps make insulin receptors more sensitive. Isn't it amazing what nutrients we have available on this earth to help keep our bodies in top shape. The key is research. I truly believe everything we need to keep our bodies healthy can be discovered in nature. I'm so proud to be associated with a company who has invested over 300 million to research and development of natural subsustances to prevent disease.

19. Barefoot Healthy Living: Healthy Aging
This is a testimony from Jan C.
Jim has struggled with the LDL (bad cholesterol) the most. He has a genetic condition that causes his body to produce too much of it. Originally the LDL was 240. For years he worked to get it to 140 and then to 120. It needed to be less than 100. After a year and a half on Vivix, it dropped to 90. Today it was 58 !!!!! Jim's doctor made this comment: Nobody wants to deal with the problem. They just want to take a pill to have it go away. When that doesn't happen they get upset." He and his office staff consider Jim their poster child. Jim complies and does what's needed to be healthy, and we support him. What Jim does each day: 1. Takes Vitalizer, Vivix, Nutriferon, CoQHeart, Liver DTX Complex, and Joint Health Complex (had me order the new Cholesterol Reduction Complex right away, too!) 2. Runs 5 miles (has never missed a day of running in 20 years) 3. Drinks tea instead of coffee (Was addicted to coffee but switched to tea several years ago and dropped 30 points off his cholesterol total) 4. Is his own boss - so he can run and rest as needed (Quit a 20 year corporate job at time of cardiac arrest 20 years ago and located his office at home) 5. Makes decisions that eliminate as much stress as possible from his day. Our youngest son Matt was 2 when Jim had the cardiac arrest. He got married on June 11 this summer. Twenty years ago, I never imagined that with 3 arteries 100% blocked and the 4th blocked 70%, that Jim would even live to see his youngest son grow up. It's good to note, too, that our three sons and I have supported all of Jim's efforts, and as a result we are healthier ourselves. Our family experience is proof that great health is primarily in the hands of the individual and the choices he or she makes. We've always chosen Shaklee nutrition, for example, and that has paid off royally for us. ~Jan

Barefoot Healthy Living - Landmark Study Here's another example of better health than would be predicted from family history with a good diet and supplementation. The way I look at it.. this is the individual expression of the Landmark Study results. In case you haven't seen it, below is a summary of the Landmark Study that highlights some of the easiest results for people to relate to. Here's an idea... When talking with people about their health, show them this summary, and ask, "How much would it be worth to you on a daily basis to get those results in your life?" It helps people think about all the things they spend money on that don't contribute to a significantly improved state of health, avoid suffering and cost of degnerative diseases. Great stuff we have with Shaklee! by Mary Litschewski.. I spent Thursday night in the ER and was admitted for tests. I thought I might be having a stroke, due to dizziness and also had tightness in my chest. At 61, I have survived my Dad (who died at 55 after 5 heart attacks). My Mom died at 66 of heart disease and my brother had bypass surgery at 42. Now 65, he has had numerous stents and is on a double dose of Crestor. I believe that, thanks to taking Shaklee for 33 years, my tests came out normal. My carotid arteries are clear. More tests to come, but 5 years ago, a cardiac angiogram showed CLEAR arteries in my heart, too (at age 56). My brother and sister are diabetic (as was my mom and Grandmother). I am not! Perhaps a heart healthy diet and moderate exercise helped, but I'm sure that the supplements have played a big part!
21. Barefoot Healthy Living: Do you know what you really want? Reticular Activating System (RAS) is like a spam filter for your mind. RAS is constantly asking three questions in order to decide what you need to know and be aware of:
The second question the RAS continually asks to determine whether or not it will allow you to be aware of the opportunities around you is: Is it important? The only way your RAS will know what is important is if you tell it exactly what is important.You must have clear, specific, vivid and measurable goals. Make no mistake. Setting goals is one of the most crucial steps to creating a better or different future than you are currently headed for.
Do you know what you really want?
Get Specific For example, suppose your goal is you want "more money". You find a $5 bill lying on the ground and your RAS says, "All right! I met that goal, so I don't need to see any more opportunities in the money arena." You see, the $5 bill is "more money" than you had before. On the other hand, if you specify exactly (measurable) how much more money you want (say, $2500 per month), then your RAS doesn't shut out opportunities until you have reached the specific amount that you want. What if your goal is "to spend more quality time with my kids?" Any extra time you spend would satisfy that goal so that just an additional two minutes a day would be enough for you to quit looking for and seeing opportunities to spend time with your kids. Better that you set your goal as "I will spend a minimum of 20 minutes each day, with each of my children, engaged in conversation one-on-one with no TV or other distractions in the room" (clear, specific, vivid, measurable!). It's not a good idea to be like the person that says, "I always wanted to grow up to be somebody. I guess I should have been more specific." If you don't know where you are going, you are already there!
22. DO YOU NEED SHAKLEE HERB-LAX? YOU BE THE JUDGE... It has been known by the natural healing profession for many years, and is recently being validated by the medical physicians, that well over 90% of degenerative disease conditions can be related directly to intestinal stasis — that is, a stagnant, fermenting condition within the bowels and related organs. This does not necessarily correspond to actual known constipation. A person can move his bowels many times a day, and still be encumbered with dead cells, decaying food materials, poisonous chemicals, parasites, pus, mucus, etc., all of which contribute to the circulation of toxins throughout the whole body, giving rise to an endless chain of “disease” conditions. These facts should be taken into consideration when nutrition programs and vitamin therapy are introduced for the first time. The proper body’s response to a proper nutrition program is to start releasing stored toxins from the cells and this puts more stress on organs of elimination (colon, kidneys, lungs, liver, blood, and skin) which are already malfunctioning from past intake of drugs, additives, and refined, processed and overcooked foods. The result of this could be symptoms of nausea, weakness, headaches, rashes, and tiredness. To prevent this from happening, Dr. Shaklee has made HERB-LAX, a combination of nine different herbs that help detoxify the body through better, more complete, elimination. It is important to understand that herbs are not in any way related to the artificial colon—cleansers promoted by television. Herbs do not act like ordinary laxatives that irritate the tissues and force the bowel to eject its contents. This weakens the organs and causes dependencies. But herbs, being a food, nourish the bowel and related organs to strengthen them so that they will function entirely on their own, effectively eliminating waste materials. It is hard to say how many HERB-LAX an individual should use, since each person differs. Choose the dose that gives you two to three soft, easy bowel movements daily. This can range from one half to 30 per day ( in the case of Diverticulitis). Those who are faithful in using HERB-LAX for internal cleanliness will get surprising good side effects as days, weeks and months go by. These include a better complexion, no headaches, no bad breath, little odor during bowel movements, plus more energy and clearer thinking.
Herb Lax® What an amazing mind he had to conceive such a product at the time he did. Remember, interest in herbal medicines had waned considerably during the middle of the last century. Herb-Lax was the second product he developed, and it has truly withstood the "test of time" remaining one of Shaklee's favorite products. Dr. Shaklee knew that proper elimination of waste from the bowel is one of the keys to optimal health. It is said that 90% of degenerative diseases are related to, or worsened by, the food we eat passing too slowly through our intestinal system. The fact that Herb-Lax® contains Senna leaf powder and is therefore a laxative is a no-brainer. Practically everyone in the medical or herbal community would understand that. What Dr. Shaklee did to make his signature product unique was to blend an additional eight herbs with the Senna leaf powder to enhance its intended use - that being to speed up the movement of foodstuffs through the intestinal system. He was able to accomplish this without the usual unwanted side effects of taking a laxative. Another great consideration about this product is that the label states a serving size of four tablets. That would indeed cause a gentle bowel movement within several hours. I think it is interesting to note that by taking less than the serving size, one can effectively speed up the flow of food and waste through the intestinal tract without causing diarrhea. Why does it work the way it does? Certainly, several of the herbs contained in this product produce a laxative action. In addition to the aforementioned Senna leaf powder, buckthorn bark powder, licorice root, blue malva powder, and culver root have shown some laxative action. They do, however, along with the other herbs present, fulfill other functions within the GI tract to complete the action. For example, licorice root, alfalfa, fennel seed and anise seed aid in digestion. Licorice root also reduces the production of stomach acid (good for heartburn?); and relieves gas, as does anise seed. Anise seed also acts to relieve stomach cramps. Rhubarb is unusual in that in can cause a laxative effect, and it has the opposite effect in small doses! SHAKLEE Herb-Lax Signature Formula Herb-Lax Laxative for Occasional Irregularity. Notes in FROM THE FIELD “Herb-Lax is one of SHAKLEE’s most popular products. Why? Because it gives gentle relief in those who are troubled by constipation and gastric distress. It’s not only gentle; it’s safe, too, cleansing the entire system of toxins without being toxic or harmful itself. The nine herbs in SHAKLEE Signature Formula Herb-Lax Laxative are effective, yet do not damage the sensitive cilia (constantly moving hair-like structures lining the intestinal tract) as chemical laxatives can. “Constipation and irregularity are a curse of our modern diets. Both contribute significantly to toxic buildup in the blood and lymphatic system. When irregularity or constipation occur, it’s time for Herb-Lax. “Herb-Lax contains the herb senna leaf (Cassia angustifolia), which has been used as an herbal laxative for more than 3,500 years. Senna has two actions. It triggers the secretion of fluids into the colon, which causes stools to be softer and easier to eliminate. It also stimulates contraction of muscles within the colon to promote elimination. “Herb-Lax specifically targets irregularity and constipation due to travel, illness, medications you may be taking, or a change in diet. Herb-Lax can be used when beginning a detoxification or colon cleansing program. Herb-Lax was originally formulated by Dr. Forrest C. Shaklee, Sr. Herb-Lax encourages a mild cleansing action to aid the body’s natural processes.” FROM THE FIELD The label says that 4 tablets may be taken once or twice a day for occasional irregularity. 1. Did you know that diarrhea is just another form of constipation? Therefore, you can use Herb-Lax to help when you have diarrhea, too, though that seems counter-intuitive. Nedra Sahr, nutritionist, points out: the circular muscles around the large intestines are supposed to contract rhythmically to push the feces along the length of the colon to the rectum… If the contractions are too strong and working too fast, the result is diarrhea. Lots of valuable nutrients are lost because there' s not enough time for them to get absorbed. If the contractions are too slow, minerals have time to bind with fats, and create hard stool that leads to constipation. 2 Current research says FIBER is the “daily laxative”. We ought to be getting in 25-30 grams of fiber from all sources every day to give bulk enough that contractions are stimulated. “Normal” is 2-3 bowel movements daily. Did you know that most of us get in only about 13 grams of fiber daily? That’s not surprising when you realize that a slice of WHOLE wheat bread is only 1.60 grams, and an apple 1.06 grams. If we eat a lot of meat (no fiber), cooked veggies (weakened fiber), processed foods (no fiber), dairy (no fiber), sugar and white flour (no fiber)…then we’re a long way from colon health. No wonder colon cancer is on the rise; too many toxins stay in, putrefy, and get reabsorbed. Adding one of SHAKLEE’s easy-to-take fiber supplements may literally save your life. 3. Many SHAKLEE people have increased their daily dietary fiber, but still safely take 1-2 Herb-Lax every night. They feel since it’s Dr. Shaklee’s formula, it’s good for more than its laxative properties. They know the other 8 herbs heal and tone the colon, Carol Robins Dalton, NP, says, Herb-Lax cleanses and purifies the blood, too. Herb-Lax users report clear skin, vigor, regularity, and great health. 4. But Nedra Sahr also cautions that there are so many people who have inflamed bowels these days that not everyone can use it as a 10-day cleanser before they start a nutrition program, nor as a daily-use product. She says YOU DON'T WANT TO EXERCISE INFLAMED TISSUE on a daily basis. Instead, she says that the place to start is with OPTIFLORA, fiber, and water instead of Herb-Lax, as you work to heal the inflammation. (Those with inflammation might need it for occasional constipation, as the gentlest and most effective laxative product on the market, and that’s fine.) NOTE ABOUT SHAKLEE HERBAL MEDICINES OTC (over the counter) medicines provide safe and effective self-medication, and should be used only as directed.

23. THE MOM FACTOR At the base of your brain, where all the nerve endings come together to form your spinal cord, there is something about the size of your thumb called the Reticular Formation. This is a real physical, physiological thing. Part of the Reticular Formation is the Reticular Activating System (RAS). The RAS has one job and one job only. Its job is to filter information; and it is superb at what it does. We are constantly exposed to, and bombarded by so much information, data, stimuli and even opportunities, that if we consciously tried to register it all, process it all and think about it all, we would literally go crazy. We would be in a constant state of "overload". So the RAS (which remember, is VERY good at what it does) constantly filters out "extraneous" and "superfluous" information and data. It's like a "Spam Filter" for your mind. The crucial question then becomes: How does the RAS determine what it needs to filter out? The RAS is constantly asking three questions in order to decide what you need to know and be aware of:
1. "Is it my responsibility"? - Have you ever gone someplace you've never been before, in an unfamiliar part of town, as a passenger in someone else's car? After you got there did you realize that you had absolutely no idea how to find your way home? It has probably happened to most of us. On the other hand, had you driven there yourself, would you have been able to find your way home? More than likely. Why in the first case were you clueless, but in the second case you noticed the gas station on the corner, the white picket fence, the church steeple and all the other landmarks that would help you find your way out of there? Because, in the second case you knew you were responsible for getting there and back. However, in the first case you knew you weren?t responsible, so your RAS decided you didn't need that information, filtered it out and you never saw the important landmarks that could help you find your way home. The "Mom Factor" I would like all of you mothers reading this to think back to when your first child was an infant (I'm sure the following was true of all of your children, but think especially of your first child). They were just old enough that they had graduated from the bassinet by your bed to their own crib, in their own room down the hall. The first few weeks do you remember how you would be sound asleep in the middle of the night, and out of a sound sleep, all of the sudden you knew that you had to be down the hall checking on your child. You don't know what you heard; you're not even sure that you had heard anything; you just knew you had to be there, and in a heart beat you are wide awake and at that child's bedside making sure that everything is OK. It's the third time that night that you have been up to check on your child. As you return to your bed, you decide that it is important for your husband to know that THIS! - IS! - THE! - THIRD! - TIME! that you have been up to check on HIS! child. So, you THROW! yourself on the bed and JERK! the covers back over to you, just to make sure your husband appreciates that this is the THIRD! time you have been up ? and your husband sleeps through the whole thing. He never heard you get up, was never aware that you came back to bed, and never even felt you jerk the covers back over. Now, in some of your homes, later that night, the family dog starts yapping in the back yard. Dad jumps out of bed, throws open the window, shouts at the dog to shut up, comes back to bed - and Mom sleeps through the whole thing. How is it that Mom can hear a virtually inaudible sleeping baby, but can?t hear barking dogs and Dad can hear dogs, but can't hear babies? It's simple ... in your home the roles have been defined such that Mom is responsible for the baby and Dad is responsible for the dog. Your RAS will filter out any information that you are not responsible for and make you unaware of it. I've often heard it said that wisdom comes with age. But, that is not true. The only thing that automatically comes with age - is old. That's all you get. Wisdom comes when you accept responsibility for your life. I know 80-year-olds with no wisdom and 18-year-olds with plenty. The difference is that the 18-year-old has accepted responsibility for their life and future, but the 80-year-old is still blaming everyone and everything around them for their stature in life. All of us spend the first nine months of our lives on a waterbed. It is warm. It is cozy. All of our needs were met without us having to do a thing. Then we are born, the doctor cut the umbilical cord, slapped us on the rear end and then 95% of us spend the next 50 years of our lives looking around for someone else we can plug our umbilical cord into to take care of us. But, it's not someone else's responsibility. And until you take responsibility for your life and future, your RAS will make you blind to opportunities around you.

About Shaklee 25. Barefoot Healthy Living: Do cleaning products cause breast cancer? Women who report greater use of cleaning products may be at higher breast cancer risk than those who say they use them sparingly. Researchers writing in BioMed Central’s open access journal Environmental Health asked more than 1500 women about their cleaning product usage and found that women who reported using more air fresheners and products for mold and mildew control had a higher incidence of breast cancer. Julia Brody, from the Silent Spring Institute, USA, worked with a team of researchers to carry out telephone interviews with 787 women diagnosed with breast cancer and 721 comparison women. She said, “Women who reported the highest combined cleaning product use had a doubled risk of breast cancer compared to those with the lowest reported use. Use of air fresheners and products for mold and mildew control were associated with increased risk. To our knowledge, this is the first published report on cleaning product use and risk of breast cancer.” The researchers questioned women on product use, beliefs about breast cancer causes, and established and suspected risk factors. They found that cleaning products, air fresheners, and insect repellents were associated with breast cancer, but little association was observed with overall pesticide use. Women with breast cancer who believed that chemicals and pollutants contribute ‘a lot’ to the risk of developing the condition were more likely to report high product usage. Speaking about this potential bias to the study, Brody said, “When women are diagnosed with breast cancer, they often think about what happened in the past that might have contributed to the disease. As a result, it may be women with breast cancer more accurately recall their past product use or even over-estimate it. Or, it could also be experience with breast cancerinfluences beliefs about its causes. For example, women diagnosed with breast cancer are less likely to believe heredity contributes ‘a lot’, because most are the first in their family to get the disease.” In order to avoid possible recall bias, the researchers recommend further study of cleaning products and breast cancer using prospective self-reports and measurements in environmental and biological media.

26. Barefoot Healthy Living: Do you need Herb-Lax? This site is especially for people who are seeking answers about Shaklee products and business.

Cindy McAsey 27. What's eating you Acid? "Exclusive breakthrough reveals—dangerously high acid levels in your body may be the hidden cause behind many health problems. For optimal health, your body needs at least 72 trace minerals every day to protect you from the ravages of high acidity... the foods you eat only give you about EIGHT of them". The above is a quote from AOL. This is news? Or is it news? Today, flashing across your computer screen, often, it sounds as if some company has just discovered nature! For my past several Years in Shaklee, when I have presented the values of our nutritional products, I have always started out with two factors. The first is: Improving your digestion will improve your health, and secondly, I feel it is important to address the topic of acid-alkaline balance. At that time, I present our Shaklee Alfalfa. The typical diet in our country disrupts the acid-alkaline balance. Meats and grains, (the most frequent choice), are acid forming. We, Americans just do not eat enough veggies or green foods. Some references state the average vegetable is only ten to thirty units alkaline, whereas alfalfa is one of the very highest ranking alkaline foods. This factor is very important in maintaining healthy joints. You would have to consume a huge amount of veggies to equal the amount of alkalinity you will receive from alfalfa. However, Just any alfalfa does not meet all the requisites. Shaklee Alfalfa is organically grown, using not the stems of the plant, but the tender green leaves. And the Shaklee process does not expose the nutrients to any degree of heat which would destroy the bio-availability, or as Dr Shaklee would refer to "the life force of the plant". I remember Dr Shaklee, at one time said: "If I had to choose only one product, it would be Alfalfa." I think its is because alfalfa provides not only the important minerals and vitamins, but also the trace minerals not found in other foods, and it provides enzymes to aid in digestion and some protein and the important alkalinity. Shaklee Alfalfa Testimonial: Forty years ago, I was diagnosed with arthritis & bursitis. The doctors prescribed Darvon. I knew better than to take something that would merely address the symptoms of pain. I wanted to remove the cause, not the just the symptoms. At that time I had not heard about Shaklee. Fortunately, for me, someone I met casually, recommended Shaklee Alfalfa to me. She was not in Shaklee and I never saw her again. I wish I knew who she was so I could express my gratitude. Maybe that is one reason I find it so easy and practically essential to share the good news everywhere I go. We never know what a difference we may make in someone’s life. It is important to remember, we never diagnose nor prescribe. Dr Shaklee said "When someone asks you what is good for arthritis, you could respond: You don’t want anything good for arthritis, you want something bad for arthritis and good for your body". Another Dr. Shaklee quote: "We do not treat dis-ease we just treat the body fairly" Another favorite quote is in response to the question: How Many do I take? Dr Shaklee said "Do you count the peas on your plate, this is food." "They aren’t pills, they won’t cure your ills, they’re just plain food, AND they will improve your mood". The point is we must emphasize wellness and prevention of disease with our food supplements.
28. Stressed? This might help..
It's a fact of life stress plays a major role on our emotions, physical and mental well being. Heck if you have turned on the news lately that's enough to stress about anybody out! So what do we do when stress factors keep hitting us square in the face? I know at first blush this may be hard to do but you MUST.... Shut down and put out of your mind what is stressing you out if only for an hour. You must give your mind & body time to adjust, and workout a strategic plan. Many times it's not the situation, but it's how we react to a situation that causes so much stress it can be detrimental to your health. As a Kansas farmers daughter I have certain values drilled into my head. I'm sure you do too. Values about what you perceive to be right or wrong.. I think all of us do, that's one reason when we pay attention to what's happening in America today it upsets us so much. Word of advise... if you have no way of controlling and changing the situation YOU MUST LET IT GO! I'm saying that for your own health OK? Next you must do what is necessary to protect your body from the Damaging Effects of Stress. The following link is a short informative recording about how the body reacts during stress and what we can do to limit the effects of stress on our body. RECORDING CLICK HERE If effects of today's world comes back to haunt your personal or business world, you must take the bull by the horns and do what it takes to make the situation have as little effect on your life as possible. One thing I know for sure we all were born into this world and we all someday will die. It's what happens in between that we can do something about. To a healthy successful journey,

Lets face it we are what we eat... Have you ever eaten one of those big fat juicy McDonalds hambugers? I think most of us have. What a bag of greesy potato chips. The liver works harder when it's dealing with heavy, greasy, refined foods. Unfortunatly the garbage that goes in our body doesn't always come out completly. Did you know with a proper detox some folks can loose 20 lbs of weight? Generally that weight is noticed most around the middle. (belly fat) Detox or cleansing diets can include water, potions, fruit and vegetable juice, raw food, herbal supplements or a combination of approaches. Proponents say they're necessary because our bodies take a lot of abuse from modern life. Conventional doctors, meanwhile, say the lungs, kidneys, liver and skin are perfectly capable of detoxifying on their own. At the very least, there may be an emotional benefit associated with starting over. To detox safely you can consume lots of fresh, raw and organic fruits, vegetables, whole grains, beans, legumes nuts and seeds. The hard part is finding products are actually what they say they are. The regulations for "organic" labeling are pretty loose to say the least! Detox Program to Cleanse the Body Shaklee Syle!

The Power of Protein on Barefoot Healthy Living The Power of Protein These powers are made possible by consuming adequate amounts of dietary protein from a variety of lean meats, fish, and poultry, as well as soy and milk, which supply the body with amino acids, the basic building blocks from which the body can make its own body proteins. Not All Protein Is Created Equal So what are the best sources of dietary protein? And is there a difference between animal and vegetable sources? Well, it's true that not all dietary protein is created equal. It really is the protein quality of one's diet that, in large part, determines how well a child will grow and develop and how well an adult will maintain his or her health. Put simply, high-quality proteins provide enough of all the essential amino acids needed to support the body's work, and lower-quality proteins don't. Two key factors that influence protein quality are the protein's digestibility and its amino acid composition. Protein digestibility is a measure of the amount of amino acids absorbed from a given protein intake, and amino acid composition refers to the simultaneous availability of all the needed amino acids from a food we choose to eat. In general, animal-sourced proteins (meat, fish, poultry, eggs, and dairy) are considered high-quality proteins, as is soy, a vegetable-sourced protein. However, other vegetable proteins tend to be of much lower quality and are often referred to as "incomplete" proteins because they do not provide all the essential amino acids the body needs. Incomplete proteins can come from fruits, vegetables, grains, and nuts. Health Benefits

The Healthy Christmas Snack Protein Balls Prep Time: 30 minutes (15 minutes to mix, 15 minutes to roll into balls)
Basic Ingredients:
Add-In Ingredients (4 cups total, create your own combination!):
Directions: The more dry ingredients you add, the stiffer the mixture gets. You want the protein balls to stick together when you roll them, but you don’t want them to be so sticky that they won’t hold shape. Add more oatmeal, wheat germ, or oat bran if your mixture is too goopy. Add more honey if your mixture is too dry. Roll the mixture into balls about 1 inch in diameter. This is the tedious part—so get the kids involved! Refrigerate the balls (or freeze any extra). You can stack them in Tupperware and separate the layers with waxed paper.
~Pop a couple throughout the day when you feel concentration and motivation are low~ 33. Barefoot Healthy Living: Go for it....No regrets! One of the great benefits of a Shaklee Business is the personal developement your recieve. When I read this message this morning from Gary Burke it reminded me of something I heard when I first started in the business. "Whatever you do DON'T QUIT" over the years I've gotten so many phone calls from past distributors who did quit and tell me how they regret their past decision. Go for it....No regrets!~by Gary Burke I received the following statement (in quotes) about regrets a few days ago and I've read it several times and it has made me think. It's really quite a strong statement about the choices we make as people. "Regrets are a result from poor choices made on decisions based on temptation, doubt, fear, frustration and anger." I think one reason I have given this some thought is I can remember some of the early times while building our Shaklee business when I would get frustrated because it just didn't seem to be growing as fast as I wanted it to. All kinds of thoughts would start coming to mind and most of them were negative. Wondering if this Shaklee opportunity would really work for us the way it did for others we heard about and saw at various meetings. Wonder, doubt, temptation to quit, and most of all frustration. As I think back though, the issue really was about me and not the opportunity. I expected more than my skills could deliver. I had to learn the HOW TO's.......How to prospect effectively....getting appointments....telling the Shaklee story....understanding the compensation plan....I had to develop certain skills. I'm a competitive guy. Always have been. I loved the competition of athletics and that is what would eventually win over all the frustration and/or doubtful thinking. Every team I was ever on, the coach always talked about fundamentals, working hard and having a great attitude, and above all "you never want to quit." I was not going to quit. I wanted what the Shaklee opportunity offered and I knew if others could build successfully, so could I. I just refused to live a life of regret. No one ever fails at building a Shaklee business. But many quit! Many people make decisions based on frustration, doubt, and other negative thoughts. Don't allow it to happen to you. Work hard and develop the skills you need to make Shaklee work for you. If you do I know this....You will never, ever regret hanging in there tough, you'll never, ever regret sticking with it, you'll never regret the effort it takes to develop the skills you need. Work hard. Put in the effort it requires. Smile! Laugh! Have fun! Go for it! No regrets! Don't ever give up........Never give up! 34. Boogie Woogie Dance makes you Feel Good!
When I saw this video I knew you should see it too... Dancing brings out so many creative ideas for me I hope it moves you the same way. Isn't it wonderful it is to be vibrant and healthy like the dancers in this video. My feet are still tapping. Are you ready to go dancing too? Lets be honest.. Nothing is more important than your health. As I shared in my last message to you our mind plays an important role in our health. A perfect example is a story about Fred who went in for a routine exam. Now Fred is 75 years young and has never been sick a day in his life, but due to constant nagging from his wife who may as well live in the doctors office he went. When routine blood work came back with a elevated PSA that's when all havoc broke loose. The doctor recommended he go in for a bioposy and his wife insisted too. Unfortunately the local hospital running the test couldn't get Fred in right away. The earliest possible appointment wasn't for 6 weeks. Fred went home and started worrying what the biopsy would show. He went from an active 75 yr old who was an active gardener, to basically and feeble old man would could barely get up to sit in front of the television. When the day of the biopsy rolled around Fred looked like someone had just handed him a death warrant. Fortunately Fred came through the biopsy surgery OK, but you could tell he still had the worry deep down of what test results would show. When test came back normal it was like Fred had gotten a new lease on life. He got home put his work clothes on and got busy living life again. I don't know how many folks have gone through what Fred did, but I do know it doesn't have to be like this. Just recently New England Journal of Medicine concluded that screening for prostate cancer has little or no effect in prolonging menÂ’s lives, and the risks posed by unnecessary treatment may outweigh the benefits of early detection. Imagine that! In conclusion I encourage you to surround yourself with what makes you happy in life.... Such as this video that makes you feel like dancing too. Don't ignore your health but feed your body with nutrients proven to support long term health... Such as Vitalizer Learn more about anti aging research at: http://anti-aging-tonic.blogspot.com/

35. Liquid Supplement: The Anti-Aging Powerhouse
The Facts and tests are in Resveratrol is indeed a breakthrough ingredient in our liquid supplement. In fact our liquid supplement is so much more powerful than taking resveratrol alone.
Resveratrol has wonderful anti-aging antioxidant properities. Imagine this it's an ingredient in red wine! Reserveratrol is most abundant in the skins of red grapes used to make red wine. It slows the buildup of platelets in blood vessels, making them less sticky. This improves the blod flow. Resveratrol can slow the growth of cancer, stimulate your immune system, lower inflammation and act as a powerful antioxidant. Researchers and MD Anderson Cancer Center in Huston show resveratrol blocks prostrate cancer at every stage. It helps more than a dozen different anticancer mechanisms in your body. What's more, resveratrol targets cancer cells selectively. It's toxic to cancer cells but doesn't harm healthy cells. It also modulates hormones; stops cancer cells from multiplying and can actually destroy cancer cells. Resveratrol may add years to your life, too. studies using bother mice and yeast show resveratrol turns on a gene that stimulates a protein called SIRT. The greater activity of SIRT, the greater the life span of yeast and mice. It turns out that humans can also activate the SIRT protein with resveratrol. The newest round of studies from the Instute of Genetics, Molecular and Cellulary Biology in France found resveratrol, helped mice run twice as far during excercise. It helped muscles produce more energy, reduced their heart rate and gave them endurance the researchers compared to trained athletes. What's more, resveratrol protected mice from gaining weight and developing the symptoms of diabetes and obesity. The benefits included in improved sensitivity to insulin, which is the key to maintaing ideal weight and avoiding diabetes. So... resveratrol is becoming a 'wonder natural compound' it's powers include:

Cindy McAsey 36. Business Franchise hardly anybody knows about
The problems we are faced with in a down economy is all over CNN, BBC, FOX News ...have been releasing reports daily of market turmoil, multiple bank failures, soaring foreclosures, and skyrocketing unemployment. Every one of us has witnessed or is feeling the harsh effects on our economy in one way or another. To make matters worse, business owners, top professionals in the mortgage business, real estate and insurance business are struggling financially and are facing a major crisis. As a small business entrepreneur we must seek out solutions. We must not only shift gears in the midst of a downturn, but also shift our energy to stay out of fear mode, which is even more important — and tougher to do. In Tough Times, Tackle Anxiety First Here's a simple six-step program for “shifting yourself out of fear-based operating mode and getting back on track towards success.” The first step, is to confess that you are, in fact, afraid. Stress, worry and apprehension are all elements of fear. I admit it is scary right now being in business, but that is what entrepreneurship is all about. The second step is to respond to that fear with calm deliberation rather than rash acts that may push your businesses into deeper trouble. The third is for small businesses to refocus their efforts on things they can excell in.
The fourth is to “reframe the story” by looking for new opportunities in difficult times.
The sixth is to seek out a critic who will give unvarnished feedback about potential blind spots. Did you know that while the majority of folks in America are fighting for survival a privileged few are building a steady, stable, strong business? These folks know something that you don't. They aren't jumping on the latest greatest thing since sliced bread. (rash acts) These folks are maintaining the calm deliberation, reframing by looking for real honest opportunities and taking advise that goes to the heart of the matter. Don't Panic! I want to share this short video from the CEO of Shaklee, Roger Barnett giving an explaination of why he launched the latest incentive called "The Power of 10"
Bottomline..our Business Franchise Online offers REAL opportunities for REAL people.

Let your emotion of love warm the heart of someone and see an ample supply of happiness reflected upon you.

Business Franchise Online: Rule #2 for Happiness and Contentment
To gain happiness, you must discover and enjoy what you have. It is not how much you have. It is what we THINK about how much we have which produces happiness. In building a happy contented life you must give happiness to others. No one living for himself will ever be contented. Your happiness is reflected upon you through service you give to others.... and the thought you give to the creation of happiness will attract a happniess-service from others. Start creating happiness-habit by producing happy love filled thoughts. "As a man thinketh in his heart so is he." When I discovered the company in this short video my level of happiness grew much stronger. I feel it's because the values align so closely with who I am. I feel a close parallel between my business "Barefoot in the Garden" and the philosophy "created by nature."

Franchise Business: What does a SMART Small Business Entrepreneur Do in a Recession? You know I LOVE twitter, but over the last week I have seen a sense of panic, mostly because I have been focusing on a target market that isn't currently a small business owner. There is so much education to be done for some of these poor souls or at least they think they are poor because the media tells them how bad it is. I've got "NEWS" for you just because the media paints a doom and gloom picture it doesn't have to be like that. Let's face it. Doom and gloom sells. Look at 911 how many people (including me) were glued to the TV watching and listening. Remember the year 2000 scare when all electronic data was going to be wiped out? Did it happen? NO... Did some people take advantage of it a make a boat load? YES It amazes me these predictors are not held accountable for their stupidity when the bad things DON’T come to pass. Sadly, I’ve found that some of the greatest tragedies I’ve seen in my life, like 9/11, Huricane Katrina, and earth quakes, tsunamis, and other disasters were not predicted or prevented in any real way at all. Any thinking person understands depressions, natural disasters, war, and more... does happen and that is unfortunately a part of life as we know it. But the media doesn’t want you to ‘think’… they want you to be afraid and dependant and turn to them for ‘comfort’ day in and day out (bad, bad idea… they never report ‘good news’). To my knowledge, worrying about such events has not prevented any of them! Action and imagination solve problems a whole lot better than ‘worrying’. After all… Napoleon Hill didn’t write, ‘Worry and Grow Rich’, did he? However, the doomsayers predict doom almost every day it and the media seems eerily cheerful in reporting on anything negative that happens around the world in real time, 24 hours a day year round. What is missing is perspective. Miracles, recovery, healing, new discoveries, massive profits, enlightenment, giving, growth, birth, beauty and joy are ALSO happening every day around the world. But you’d never know about it if you rely on the NEWS media for your view of reality. If you want to profit from these times, let McCain, Obama, the stock market, real estate woes and the nattering ninnies in Congress shuffle papers around to their hearts content. And ignore them. If you have real estate problems or stock troubles, educate yourself on how to best deal with those issues. Tell yourself over and over.. "If it is to be it's up to me" Don't rely on anyone to bail you out! Don’t envy or resent the ‘rich’, join them! The Money is still right under our noses. In fact this "recession" will produce more billionaires than ever before. (Some people are THRILLED to see it coming) Stocks and Real Estate will be bought at rock bottom prices. (Only to be sold for massive profits in a few short years) Advertising for your business will be much cheaper, because there won't be the competition from the nervous nellies.

Barefoot Marketing Strategies Using Veretekk
How Veretekk is works to build your business with Social Networking
Last night in our weekly web conference I had someone ask me have you ever brought someone into the business through social networking? With out having Veretekk as a tool it would be next to impossible to build the relationships I've built in Social Networking.
This morning as I was doing my usual social networking follow up, I glanced at the string of messages a new facebook contact and I have had this week and thought, this is it!
This is the perfect lesson to show you exactly how social networking using Veretekk works! Again my hats off to Tom Prendergast and Mike Darling for putting together an awesome neutral system we can use to build online social relationships with.

Peggy in my business everything I do online leads back into *****. Yes I have multiple streams of income coming into my business, but it's the primary business income that will be passed down to my kids and future generations.
It's the ****** income that comes in month after month from customers purchasing the products from my website wether I'm working or not.
THAT'S how it done! Social Networking is all about building relationships and communication. Sometimes it's in the form of text messages.. such is the case in Twitter. or.. sometimes it's in the form of private email messages like this example... and sometimes it leads to a phone conversation, but not always.
Others are mirrors of your own self-image. You will be drawn to others for the positive qualities you believe exist within you. In a similar way you will tend to hate others who reflect back to you those qualities you fear most in yourself. You already have th answers to life's questions. All you need to do is look, listen within, and trust your intuitive powers.

Barefoot Luxury Vacations: 80/20 Rule Technique The 80/20 Rule is one of the most helpful of all concepts of time and life management. It is also called the Pareto Principle after its founder, the Italian economist Vilfredo Pareto, who first wrote about it in 1895. Pareto noticed that people in his society seemed to divide naturally into what he called the "vital few," the top 20% in terms of money and influence, and the "trivial many," the bottom 80%. Pareto later discovered that virtually all economic activity was subject to this his Principle as well. For example, this rule says that 20% of your activities will account for 80% of your results. 20% of your customers will account for 80% of your sales. 20% of your products or services will account for 80% of your profits. 20% of your tasks will account for 80% of the value of what you do, and so on. This means that if you have a list of ten items to do, two of those items will turn out to be worth as much or more than the other eight items put together. Here is an interesting discovery. Each of these tasks may take the same amount of time to accomplish. But one or two of those tasks will contribute five or ten times the value as any of the others. Often, one item on a list of ten things that you have to do can be worth more than all the other nine items put together. This task is invariably the one that you should do first. The most valuable tasks you can do each day are often the hardest and most complex. But the payoff and rewards for completing these tasks efficiently can be tremendous. For this reason, you must adamantly refuse to work on tasks in the bottom 80% while you still have tasks in the top 20% left to be done. Before you begin work, always ask yourself, "Is this task in the top 20% of my activities or in the bottom 80%?" The hardest part of any important task is getting started on it in the first place. Once you actually begin work on a valuable task, you seem to be naturally motivated to continue. There is a part of your mind that loves to be busy working on significant tasks that can really make a difference. Your job is to feed this part of your mind continually. Time management is really life management, personal management. It is really taking control over the sequence of events. Time management is control over what you do next. And you are always free to choose the task that you will do next. Your ability to choose between the important and the unimportant is the key determinant of your success in life and work. Effective, productive people discipline themselves to start on the most important task that is before them. They force themselves to eat that frog, whatever it is. As a result, they accomplish vastly more than the average person and are much happier as a result. This should be your way of working as well. Make a list of all the key goals, activities, projects and responsibilities in your life today. Which of them are, or could be, in the top 10% or 20% of tasks that represent, or could represent, 80% or 90% of your results? Resolve today that you are going to spend more and more of your time working in those few areas that can really make a difference in you life and career, and less and less time on lower value activities.

Cindy McAsey 45. Barefoot Techniques for Communication
Techniques for Communication via the Telephone Do you persuade customers, teammates, bosses or employees via the telephone? Like it or not, you're in telephone sales. Even with all the technology on the the Internet, lots of business still revolves around the phone. Here are some quick tips for making your point more powerful. Talk clearly. Use short sentences. Talk loud enough but don't over-modulate the mouthpiece (that's announcer talk for distortion). This can be especially tricky when you're on the cell phone in the car. I use a bluetooth ear piece, making it easy to take notes or ordering information. Word of caution do not try to multi-task, carefully listen to what the other person is saying so you know how to respond. Here's a technique I discovered from talking to newspaper reporters back in the corporate days. When you're talking with a reporter and you want them to write down particular points but not others, vary your pace. Talk fast through the points you don't feel are important, but slow down and enunciate the important parts you want in print. The same works for selling on the telephone. Leave the script behind. Instead, jot down a few phrases that remind you of your important points. Ad-lib around these to keep your pitch on track. Fear of the phone can be big hurdle for many online marketers. Educate yourself about the product or service you promote. Become a product of the product. Then selling on the phone becomes like talking to your best friend when you know in your heart what's best for them.
